Chapter 16:21 Miscalculation
Ou Yeqi wanted to go to see Daokui, in addition to reporting the results of his experiment, naturally he wanted to get the consent of Dao Ling Daokui, end Jia Jiu's confinement, and let Jia Jiu help him.
But Ou Yehu himself knew that it was impossible for him to agree to this request.
It is impossible for a fool to go all the way through five levels and cut six to become a candidate for the silver-clothed Daozi. Ouyehu has been able to get to this day, naturally there are two brushes. He allowed himself to indulge in casting and smelting, which was also something that happened after he became a candidate for the silver-clothed Daozi. Even if he had devoted most of his time, energy, and mind to the iron-making stove, that didn't mean that he had completely lost his sharpness for something.
Although Ou Yehua didn't understand it when Jia Jiu was grounded in the Rock of Repentance at the beginning, but when he got the booklet from Dao Kui, Ou Yehua also understood that this was Dao Ling and Jia Jiu fighting and running-in.
Jia Jiu's ability is obvious to everyone, but the unruliness in this girl's bones also makes it a real headache. Just look at this girl's actions, if he thinks it is necessary, he will not hesitate to attack the Daomen, even if the Daomen is kind to him.
Ou Yehua can also see that he wants to use this girl, but he has a headache for this girl's temper and behavior. Therefore, the Dao Ling grounded this girl in the Confession Rock, and used the natural conditions of the Confession Rock to separate the contact between this girl and others, just to make this girl soft. Only when this girl is soft and obedient can Daomen use him with confidence.
This is the tug-of-war between Dao Ling and Jia Jiu, and it is also Daomen's pondering of the only heir of this golden-clothed Daozi lineage.
Ouyehu's only concern was. If he asks to see the teacher now, he will disrupt the pace of the teacher to think about Tong Yunliu's junior sister.
There was something in his heart, which also made Ou Yehua more and more irritable.
The irritable Ou Yehua saw Yan Wei sitting by his iron stove, but he didn't speak or leave. This tone became more and more bad: "Senior brother, what's wrong with you?" ”
Ou Yehu actually wanted to say: whether to go or stay, one word.
However, the upbringing of the Daomen made it impossible for him to say such unreasonable words to his fellow disciples.
Yan Wei hesitated for a while before he asked Ou Yehua: "Senior brother, do you know why Senior Brother Mo hasn't returned to Yuqing Mountain for many years?" ”
Mo Wen is also a disciple of Daokui, and he is also the most proud disciple of Daokui. Among the many candidates for the silver-clothed Daozi, Mo Wen's cultivation is second only to Breaking the Wind and Dust, and his ability to deal with various things. But there is only a line of dust. It can be said that before Jia Jiu went up the mountain, he was the most useful disciple by Daokui's side.
Ou Yehua said: "It's not that I mean. Dao Kui has something to tell Mo to ask Senior Brother to do it? But how hard is this to do? ”
Yan Wei said: "Then senior brother, do you know that Senior Sister Tongyunliu set up several textile workshops, all of which were placed in Zixiaguan?" ”
Ou Yehua said: "I know." It's not that Tong Yunliu brought back a lot of loot from the north. It needs to be cleaned by hand. Coupled with the war and rebellion, countless orphans have been displaced. That's why the division commanders asked Mo to go down the mountain to preside over the overall situation? ”
Yan Wei said: "Actually, if those orphans are men and their age is only one line away, they still have the opportunity to join the army and eat a mouthful." The problem is that the girls, and the children who are not old enough and not tall enough, will not have women and children in the army. If no one pulls them along, they will end up in that kind of place. ”
Ou Yehu was shocked and said, "You shouldn't say it." Mo asked Senior Brother to go down the mountain for this, right? Doesn't Zixiaguan adopt orphans every year? Even if there are more of them, there is so much meat in the clouds. It's enough to feed them. ”
Yan Wei said: "It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish." Senior brother should still remember this sentence, right? ”
"What's wrong?"
Yan Wei said: "At the beginning, Senior Sister Tong Yunliu begged all the teachers like this. It was precisely because of his insistence and his statement that he would pay for all the expenses that persuaded the teachers to take in these orphans with the greatest strength. ”
In other words, if it weren't for Jia Jiu's pleading, it would be impossible for the Daomen to say more to these homeless people.
In the past long years, the Daomen also took in the homeless, but there are still many children who have become beggars, thieves, thieves, and there are still many girls who have been reduced to dust because they have no means of life, and countless old and weak people will die of hunger and cold because they have no food to eat.
That year, because of the military rebellion, there were many orphans in the Gyeonggi area. If it weren't for Jia Jiu's repeated pleading, if it weren't for Jia Jiu taking out so many wolf corpses, maybe Daomen wouldn't have chosen to let go and take in those homeless people as much as possible.
Ou Yehua said: "I know. But how long has this happened? ”
Yan Yan said: "Yes." However, Tong Yunliu expected that after cleaning up those furs, wolf meat, horse meat, mutton, and beef, those people would still have no food and clothing because they lost their livelihoods, so when Tong Yunliu bought Zhuangzi in the north, he also asked Senior Brother Mo Wen to buy a lot of fields on his behalf, which was specially used to grow alfalfa and other pastures. He even paid to buy pasture grass from the people in the vicinity. ”
"Buying pasture? Senior sister, is this going to raise horses? No, you said that you want to find a livelihood for the people. Is it sheep farming? ”
Yan Wei said: "It's not just sheep, it's also rabbits, and it's also a long-haired rabbit." ”
Yan Wei was once seconded to help Mo Wen, and he had seen with his own eyes those rabbits who were locked in cages, whose long hair grew quickly, and who also had many thieves.
Those rabbits, if they are old, become the rations of those women, the elderly, and children, and those rabbit hairs, after combing, washing, weaving, and dyeing, become a roll of bright wool, some of which are sold directly, and some of which are turned into gorgeous blankets and clothes after the skillful hands of women, and then sold everywhere.
Later, the Zhuangzi in the north was raised, and there was more wool in this textile workshop, and more things were produced.
Because of the need for female workers in the textile workshops, farmers in several nearby counties no longer choose to drown their babies after giving birth to them. Instead, when the baby girl is a little older, about eight or nine years old, she is sent to work in the workshop. You can get twenty or thirty copper plates a month. This is still the salary of the simplest carder.
It has never been like the days of Zixiaguan. Let Yan Wei truly understand the slightness of human life. A hundred copper plates, just a hundred copper plates, can save a life.
Human life is like a mustard, what a heavy five words.
Ou Yehua said: "Those Zhuangzi have been raising so many people? ”
Yan Wei said: "Yes." Moreover, the surrounding people are desperately trying to send their daughters in, and they are even very grateful to Tong Yunliu. thinks that Tongyunliu is very kind, and the salary given is also the highest in several nearby counties, and there is no need to enter the artisan household. ”
Ou Yehu said: "Sure enough. ”
"Senior brother?"
Ou Yehua said: "Although I am obsessed with casting. However, if it is not a good capital, if I don't revitalize the things in my hand, I don't have so many things to toss. DID YOU KNOW. How much grain does this Sword Forge have in and out of the Valley in a year? ”
Yan Wei shook his head.
Ou Yehua said: "You are also a person who does not care about everything. This. You, like Yu Ziqing, don't have Tongyunliu wit. Tongyunliu just took a spin around with me, and then turned around and took away the scrap that I had piled up here. But I have another pile of identical scrap here, and I sold it for 20 million taels of silver. Today, these scraps continue to generate revenue for Sword Forge Valley every year. ”
Yan Wei's eyes widened, and he could hardly believe what he heard: "Senior, senior brother, what did you say?" ”
Ou Yehua said: "It's a senior brother, not a senior brother." ”
Yan Wei stammered: "Yes." But you say......"
Ou Yehua said: "You heard it right. If there is no cloud flow. I'm afraid I'll have to keep my stones piled up there. But Tong Yunliu made a fuss, and almost everyone in Beijing knew that I had this kind of stone here. In order to catch up with the construction period, those who can't get Taihu Lake stone, or want to repair the provincial villa as soon as possible, or want to have a little money left, all come to me to set the stone. In order to be one step ahead, these even bid in front of this Sword Forge Valley. Although Tong Yunliu took a batch of stones from me for nothing, he brought me a profit of 20 million taels of silver, and also opened a way for me to make a fortune, so that I could have more money to buy ore. In terms of the ability to make money, on this Yuqing Mountain, Tongyunliu recognized the second, I am afraid that no one dares to admit the first. ”
Yan Wei finally reacted: "So, senior brother wants to petition for Tong Yunliu?" ”
Ou Yehu ripped his hair irritably and said, "That's what I want to say." Your teachers have always been forgiving, and even if we get something wrong, they will try their best to teach and correct us. But Tong Yunliu's temperament is really stubborn, and he is young and will come to trouble, such a person is not easy to teach. I'm afraid that Dao Ling is deliberately pondering Tong Yunliu, if the boss really holds such an idea, I will speak for Tong Yunliu again, I am afraid that I will commit a taboo. ”
Ou Yehua finally picked out the words: "Senior brother will come to me, I think it is also for Tongyunliu's business, right?" If it was something else, the foolish brother would have been able to go with the junior brother. But it doesn't work. Just like this manganese steel matter, I can only return the results to the teachers at most, and I won't say anything if I plead. ”
Yan Wei said: "But senior brother just said ......"
Ou Yehua said: "Tongyunliu admits that he is in the Confession Rock, hasn't this codex come to my hand yet?" I don't want anything else, as long as Tong Yunliu can make his codex public as he is now. ”
Yan Wei wanted to say that this was no different from interceding for Tong Yunliu. But when the words came to his lips, he still didn't say them. Of course, Yan Wei knew that at this juncture, reporting the outcome of the matter to the division commanders would indeed increase the weight on Jia Jiu's side. But it can't be done if you don't report it to your teachers.
Of course, if Ou Yehu goes alone, it will be the result of the report, and if the two of them go, there will be a suspicion of intercession.
Yan Wei quickly made a decision: "It's almost time." I went to the kitchen to get the food box. Senior brother went to restore his life first. If the time is coincidental, you and I will go to the Regret Rock together. ”
Ouyehu has no objection to this decision.
Yan Wei thought that Ou Yehua would delay for a while in Qingfeng Stream, but he didn't expect that when he got the food box, he saw Ou Yehua coming.
Yan Wei was very surprised by Ou Yehu's speed.
On the contrary, it was Ou Yehua who walked up to Yan Wei frankly and said, "Commanders have an order, let us ask the method that Tongyunliu said would reduce the price of cloth by half." ”
Yan Wei almost didn't hold the food box in his hand: "Senior brother, you say, will Tong Yunliu obediently do it?" ”
Ou Yehua said: "If I were replaced, I would definitely not hand over my chips easily. ”
Yan Wei said: "However, it is Tongyunliu. ”
The brothers looked at each other for a long time, and then had to go to the Rock of Repentance again.
Unexpectedly, Yan Wei and Ou Yehua hesitated for a while before stating their purpose, while Jia Jiu simply took out another codex.
"This is the latest spinning machine. It can be pushed with water or with fire. The dimensions of each part are indicated, and the last few pages are assembly drawings. This spinning machine will be a little more durable with its practical iron casting. However, if it is only for verification, it is more cost-effective to use wood. There are several parts that need to be cast in iron. I've already marked it out. ”
Regarding Jia Jiu's generosity, neither Yan Wei nor Ou Yehua could figure it out.
"Senior sister, if this spinning machine is really so good, just give it to me, is it really good?"
Jia Jiu replied: "For me, if I hand over the things to you, my purpose will be achieved." Seeing that Yan Wei and Ou Yehua didn't understand, Jia Jiu explained: "Because the annual expenses of the Daomen are very large, the top is naturally concerned about the financial resources. If the spinning machine on the Codex was so useful, the boss would definitely order Senior Brother Ouyeel to build one and come out first. With my past credibility, even if the last door is not interested, there will be people who are interested. As far as I know, after the Emperor Taishang and the present long live learned about those textile workshops, they fought a few famines with the national teacher. ”
Ou Yehua said: "So, the teachers asked me to deliver food to the junior sister, and it has already fallen into the calculation of the junior sister." ”
Jia Jiu replied: "On this Yuqing Mountain, there are only a few people who can enter and exit the Confession Rock without getting hurt. Even if Senior Brother Ouyeel has something to do and can't come for a while, it will still be Senior Brother Ouyeel's turn in the future. So, I'm not in a hurry. ”
But someone will be in a hurry.
Only then did Ou Yehu remember that Jia Jiu's patience was first-class. He could have been confined to the inner house for eight years in order to paralyze some people, so it was not a big deal for him to stay in the Rock of Regret today.
Ou Yehu could even imagine what kind of wonderful look Dao Ling would have after seeing Jia Jiu leisurely practicing on the Confession Rock and not thinking about this punishment for himself at all. (To be continued.) )
